Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a new effervescent pharmaceutical composition containing, as active ingredient, ibuprofen and its preparation process.
  • 2- (4-isobutylphenyl) propionic acid known as ibuprofen is a well-tolerated drug with antipyretic and anti-inflammatory analgesic activities (Merk Index, XI edition, No. 4812).
  • composition intended for the preparation of an effervescent powder or tablet comprising ibuprofen or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, an effervescent couple capable of producing carbon dioxide in the presence of water, a surfactant and an insoluble hydrophilic polymer.
  • ibuprofen is preferably coated with the insoluble hydrophilic polymer (advantageously constituted by microcrystalline cellulose) and it is indicated that in the absence of such a polymer ibuprofen is deposited on the walls of the container in which the effervescent composition is prepared.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a new composition intended for the preparation of effervescent powders or tablets of ibuprofen with improved stability.
  • the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition intended for the preparation of powders or effervescent tablets containing an effective amount of ibuprofen or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts as active ingredient; a pharmaceutically acceptable effervescent system comprising at least one alkaline carbonate and at least one organic acid, characterized in that it comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable antioxidant agent, in an amount sufficient to stabilize ibuprofen.
  • the present invention is based on the surprising discovery that the stability of ibuprofen, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, in contact with alkali carbonates can be considerably improved by a prior treatment of ibuprofen or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts with an antioxidant agent.
  • the term “powders” is intended to denote any mixture of components, granulated or not, intended to be dissolved and / or suspended in water, or else to be ingested directly or by any other suitable means such as for example in admixture with a food product.
  • the present invention preferably applies to ibuprofen as well as to its insoluble salts such as in particular the calcium salt, but its principle can also be used for the preparation of powders or tablets incorporating soluble salts ibuprofen.
  • An alkaline carbonate capable of being used in the context of the present invention is for example sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, carboxylysine, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, as well as mixtures of these compounds.
  • sodium bicarbonate will be used.
  • organic acids which can be used within the framework of the present invention are compounds capable of reacting with alkali carbonates to cause a release of carbon dioxide, when they are brought into contact with sufficient water.
  • Suitable acids are for example citric acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid as well as mixtures of these compounds.
  • the preferred acid is citric acid.
  • alkali carbonate and organic acid use will be made of sufficient amounts of alkali carbonate and organic acid to obtain a pH of less than about 8 in the presence of water, and preferably a pH of between 4 and 5.
  • the relative weight proportions of these compounds within the effervescent system vary according to the desired pH after dissolution, which is understandable to those skilled in the art, for example for a pH of about 3 to about 7 the ratio varies from about 20/80 to about 80/20.
  • this composition also comprises an effective amount of at least one internal desiccant.
  • this composition also comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent.
  • This diluent also plays a favorable role in stabilizing ibuprofen and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
  • the abovementioned antioxidant agent is chosen from alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, delta-tocopherol, extracts of natural origin rich in tocopherol, L-ascorbic acid and its sodium or calcium salts, palmityl DL ascorbic acid, propyl gallate, octyl gallate, dodecyl gallate, butyl-hydroxy anisole gallate (BHA) and butyl-hydroxy toluene gallate ( BHT).
  • the antioxidant agent will be alpha-tocopherol.
  • the internal desiccant is magnesium citrate.
  • the internal desiccant has the function of trapping traces of water that may appear in the tablet. It has in fact been observed that when it comes into contact with alkaline carbonates, ibuprofen degrades by generating water molecules which further promote the degradation process.
  • the diluent is lactose.
  • any other pharmaceutically acceptable diluent could be used, in particular sucrose.
  • Magnesium citrate can also be used in this function.
  • the subject of the present invention is a pharmaceutical preparation, in the form of an effervescent powder or tablet, characterized in that it contains a composition as defined above optionally combined with at least one additive usual chosen from sweeteners, flavorings, colors and lubricants.
  • a sweetener can be a natural sugar like sucrose or sorbitol or a synthetic product like saccharin or aspartame.
  • saccharin will be used.
  • this pharmaceutical preparation will be in the form of an effervescent tablet containing an amount of effervescent composition as defined above corresponding to 200 mg or 400 mg or 600 mg of ibuprofen per tablet.
  • this pharmaceutical preparation will be in the form of a powder containing an amount of effervescent composition as defined above corresponding to 200 mg or 400 mg or 600 mg of ibuprofen per dosage unit.
  • the pharmaceutical form obtained at the end of the aforementioned process can be directly used in the form of powder and packaged for example in sachets.
  • This pharmaceutical form can also be presented as a tablet after a traditional compression step.
  • a solution or an emulsion containing the antioxidant agent will be used.
  • alpha-tocopherol which is hydrophobic
  • a suitable solvent such as for example water or an organic solvent compatible with ibuprofen, that is to say, do not dissolving only weakly.
  • a mixture of sodium docusate and polyvinylpyrrolidone has been found to be particularly preferred.
  • the treatment of ibuprofen with the antioxidant agent will preferably be carried out by spraying the emulsion containing the antioxidant using the various technologies conventionally used in the pharmaceutical industry such as for example a planetary mixer, a vacuum granulator mixer. , a fluidized bed or a coulter mixer, or a turbine.
  • the components of the effervescent system will be subjected to a prior granulation, together or separately, in an appropriate solvent (water, alcohol, dichloromethane, isopropanol, or their mixture).
  • an appropriate solvent water, alcohol, dichloromethane, isopropanol, or their mixture.
  • the various ingredients of the pharmaceutical form other than the ibuprofen treated by the antioxidant and the effervescent system will preferably be mixed in the form of powders.
  • At least one internal desiccant is added such as magnesium citrate as one of the constituents of the pharmaceutical preparation.
  • Step a Treatment of ibuprofen with the antioxidant
  • Alpha-tocopherol (42.10 -3 ), sodium docusate (75.10 -3 ) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (375.10 -3 ) are mixed in water to obtain an emulsion.
  • the emulsion thus obtained is sprayed on ibuprofen (100) then the product thus obtained is dried under vacuum.
  • Step b Granulation
  • the various components to be granulated are introduced into a granulating mixer, [Sodium bicarbonate (300) - Citric acid (500)].
  • the granulation liquid is then sprayed onto the powder bed.
  • the mixture obtained is then dried in a fluidized bed.
  • the granules obtained are calibrated by means of a grid.
  • the product obtained is in the form of a dry powder which can be used directly for the preparation of tablets.
